Because heaven forbid we be called the name of our country? Am I missing something here? 🤨
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

Pirating discourse is making the rounds again, and I'll say the same thing I say all the time: No one is entitled to the labor, creative or otherwise, of anyone else.
The problem isn't that there aren't alternatives to pirating, the problem is folks don't care who they hurt with their theft.

Just goes to show how shot my memory is. There WAS a thing like this, but it looks like updates to BS broke it/changed it and made it too difficult to keep up.
I'd love an option to just hide posts that contain images without ALT text. Is that a thing anyone knows of?
For those who just occasionally can't use it due to low spoons, it would only mean only a few of their posts are hidden, and for those who never use it, well... sounds like a "them" problem.

Just saw a video of an official in Idaho saying how they want to have foods in the store labelled if they have mRNA in them and my brain just shut down.
I can't. I can't even. I literally cannot even.

Heaven forbid we cost the economy, especially when U.S. insistence on constant consumerism of electronics and tech (among other things) continues to destroy the global south.
I'd gladly harm the economy if it meant we stopped funding genocides and slave labor. I feel like that's a solid sacrifice.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I get boycotting Amazon. I think we should, but quote-skeeting disabled, BIPOC, and/or queer folks who are showing their books for sale on Amazon with ZERO intention of promoting their non-Zon wares, you're being part of another problem.
Maybe share alternate links instead of shouting them down?

And how do you print this fact here without immediately calling attention to his opposition to hormones for trans ppl?

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
